You just have to love how the folks at Google continue to come out with cool tools. kj points out that Google now has satellite imagery available for its maps. It also still does all the cool overlay stuff, so you can see all the landmarks on your way to useful places. Click on the […]
Here are my pics from Scotland.
Driving in Scotland was entertaining… ok, being a passenger in Scotland was entertaining. The roads were winding and all roller coaster like. mck drove, I was there for the ride. Whee! Clips are here and here. No sound, stupid Olympus cameras turning it off by default.
So. I’m sitting at the gate waiting to board the first leg of my trip home. The flight starts to board in about twenty minutes, and I’ve paid close to $22.00 for wireless access for the day here and in Heathrow, where I’ll be spending around six hours total. Strangely enough, it seems worth it. […]

So, my first impression of Edinburgh is “wet”. Not damp, not moist, not misty, wet. It pissed rain all day, but it added a nice effect to the experience. We caught a train this morning from Glasgow this to Edinburgh. Fast, clean, quiet, on-time (Via, take some lessons, would you… please?). Our hotel was about […]
